For the first time since acquiring the brand, Ricoh has dropped the Pentax name from these cameras entirely by introducing the updated Ricoh WG-4, WG-4 GPS and WG-20.</p><p>Truth be told, other than the re-badge, there's not all that much difference between these models and the WG-3/WG-3 GPS and WG-10 announced last year, but we'll go ahead and go over the specs for those interested in adding a tough camera to their collection.Ricoh WG-4 and WG-4 GPS</p><p>Obviously, other than GPS functionality and the front facing LCD/higher price that this functionality entails, the two WG-4 models are identical.</p><p>The camera sports the same 1/2.3-inch 16-megapixel BSI CMOS sensor (with sensor-shift stabilization), 4x optical zoom (25-100mm equivalent) lens and 'tough specs' dustproof, waterproof to 45 feet, shockproof from 6.6 feet, freezeproof down to 14F and crushproof up to 220 foot-pounds of force as the WG-3 before it.</p><p><a href="http://petapixel.com/2014/02/06/ricoh-introduces-two-new-rugged-cameras-drops-pentax-name-entirely/">Keep reading...</a></p>
